The Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office would like to provide the following update as recovery efforts continue across Jackson Parish.

The Charles Garrett Community Center remains open and staffed as an emergency warming center. Transportation to and from the Community Center will continue to be provided as needed.

Many parish roadways remain impacted by ice and storm debris. Residents are urged to use extreme caution when traveling, as hazardous conditions still exist in several areas.

As recovery efforts continue, JPSO litter crews will be working alongside the Police Jury to remove debris from roadways in some of the hardest-hit areas of the parish.

With temperatures expected to dip into the teens on Friday and Saturday night, residents are encouraged to continue checking on elderly family members, neighbors, and others who may need assistance.
If you are aware of someone who may require a welfare check, please contact the Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office directly at (318) 259-9021 so deputies can respond in person.

The Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office would like to thank our residents, first responders, utility crews, and partner agencies for their patience, cooperation, and resilience throughout this event.

One Parish. One Team. One Mission.
